JULIUS PETERSEN, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

WINDOW-SHADE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,174, dated February 7, 1905. Application filed October 10,1964. Serial No. 227,922.

To (LU 1071/0711 it may concern:

' Be it known that I, JULIUs PETERSEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Yindow-Shade Brackets, of which the following is a specification containing a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in window-slnule brackets; and it consists of the novel features herein shown, described, and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation on the line '1 1 of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrow. Fig. 2 is a top plan view as seen looking in the direction indicated by the arrow 2- in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective, upon a reduced scale, of a window-shade bracket embodying the principles of my invention. Fig. & is a horizontal sectional detail on the line 4 4: of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction indicated by the ili'i'LHY.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the bearing-block 5 has a horizontal rectangular opening 6, and attaching-plates T and S extend upwardly and downwardly from the bearingblock, there being openings through said attachingplates for the insertion of screws or nails. The adjusting plate 9 is slidingly mounted through the opening 6 in the bearing-block 5, and the Hartshorn roller-bearing is carried by one end of the plate. The bearings 10 support the window-shade, and the device is adjustable for different lengths of Hartshorn rollers by moving the plates 9 one way or the other through the bearingblock 5. The curtain-pole bearing 11 is held a considerable distance in front of the shaderoller by the arm 12, said arm being formed integral with the attaching-plate 13, and said attaching-plate is placed against the front face of the bearing-Mock 5, and the screw H is inserted through the attaching-plate l3 and screw-seated in the front wall of the bearingblock 5, and the point of the screw engages the plate 9 to hold the plate in its adjusted position.

Care must be taken to cut the screw 1% exactly to the right length, so that as it tightens up against the attaching-plate 13 it will also tighten against the plate 9. Flanges and 16 extend from the attaching-plate 13 to engage the side edges of the bearing-block 5, and a flange 17 extends from the top of the attaching-plate 13 to engage the top of the bearing-block 5, so as to hold the attachingplate 13 in line with the bearing-block.

The operation is obvious.

I claim- In a window-shade bracket: the bearingplate 5 having the horizontal rectangular opening 6; the attaching-plates 7 and 8 extending upwardly and downwardly from the bearing-block; the adjusting-plate 9 slidingly mounted in the openingfi; the roller-bearing 10 carried by the iuljusting-plate; the curtainpole bearing 11; the arm 12 supporting the polebearing; the attachingplate i3 at the opposite end of the arm 12 against the bearing-block 6; and the screw it inserted through the attaching-plate and serew-seated in the bearing-block 5 to hold the attaching-plate 13 and the mljusting-plate 9 in position.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

J ULIUS PE ERSEN.
